The analyst acknowledges the fundamental undervaluation of the company’s shares. However, he highlighted the prevailing volatility and negative sentiment surrounding the stock.
The analyst pointed out that the short-term performance of SoFi Technologies is unpredictable due to its inherent volatility.
